Abstract

We investigated the effect of green tea extract (GTE) on the sensory properties, color value and shelf-life characteristics (pH, titratable acidity and total bacteria count) of cooked rice. Sensory attributes such as taste, flavor and overall acceptability were significantly higher in cooked rices prepared with 500, 1000 ppm of GTE than those of control group (p<0.01) but there was no significant difference among samples (p<0.01) in textural quality. Redness, yellowness and total color difference (${\Delta}E$) were higher when GTE was added. When cooked rice was putrefied, the values of pH, titratable acidity and total bacteria count were about 5.8, 0.3% and $10^8$ cfu/g, respectively. The shelf life of cooked rice was prolonged to 1-2 day by adding 500 and 1000 ppm of GTE as compared to control group.
